Parkhead, in the east end of Glasgow, is the workshy capital of Scotland, with more than one in four living on incapacity benefit. A further 8% receive jobseeker's allowance.

Greendykes, in Edinburgh, has the second highest number of incapacity benefit recipients, with one in four adults claiming. In affluent neighbourhoods such as Cults, Bieldside and Milltimber West, in Aberdeen, less than 1% collect the handout.

The statistics, published by the Scottish government, reveal that 300,000 people in Scotland are judged unfit to work and are claiming the allowance.

One in five working-age adults in Fullarton, Irvine and Ardrossan in central Scotland claims incapacity benefit.

Eight of the 10 most dependent areas are in Glasgow, with a fifth of the working population in Glenwood South, Dalmarnock, Braidfauld, Easterhouse and Keppochhill qualifying for incapacity benefit. The highest proportion of people on jobseeker's allowance is in Altonhill South, Longpark and Hillhead in East
